"A young family re-locating to the Western Cape was looking to change from city living to a more relaxed country lifestyle in which to bring up their young family and settled for the exclusive Pearl Valley Golf Estate located near Paarl, just 30 minutes away from Cape Town".
"The initial architectural footprint for the house was designed by Gauteng based architect, Gardiol Bergenthuin. The owners approached Antoni Associates to create an interior that was modern but with an emphasis on ‘barefoot luxury’ and use of natural materials".
"The house has been designed around a central landscaped courtyard with a reflective pond. On entering the house, one crosses a foyer bridge which is flanked by wet-walls cascading down ribbon-stone clad feature walls. The formal lounge is a large double-volume cathedral-like space with a trussed ceiling which is overlooked by the mezzanine study situated above the formal dining room". The dining area features a horizontal strip-fireplace which has been placed level with the european oak dining table. A feature hooped-glass chandelier cascades over the waney-edge French oak table.
"The family entertainment level flows out onto the front terrace and infinity pool, incorporating a number of entertainment areas such as a TV lounge, an indoor grill and a bar adjacent to the courtyard. Floating steps over the reflective pond lead to the bar area, which has a decked spa overlooking the pool. The bar area is also linked to an outdoor ‘boma’, which is a casual enclosure with seating area around a fire-pit".
